The champagne is chilling, the red carpet is having a final hoover, and it's just a few short hours until the guests start turning up at London's glittering O2 arena for the 2012 Brit awards.

As host James Corden takes to the stage this evening, which of the nominees are you going to be rooting for? Most of the award categories are decided on by a music industry voting academy, but we'd like to know who you would vote for if you had a say.

Take a look at the options below and pick out your winners for each category. The poll will close at 8pm GMT this evening, and and this time tomorrow we'll see how closely aligned the Brits' voters are with our readers.
